To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN B. WILMARTH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleborough, (Falls,) in the countyof Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Eyeglass-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the fiat sheet-metal blank, from which the body and hook portions of my improved holder are formed, the said blank being punched, as indicated by the lines aand b, to form the backwardly-extending hook a and the bearing-rest b for the pin-tongue c, the said tongue being provided with the laterallyextended eye d, which forms ahinge-joint ,'with the turned end f of the blank, the opposite end 9 of the blank being turned over to form the eyeglass-hook h, and after the tongue 0 strikes the top of the bearing-rest b, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 2, the tongue is to be bent toward the back e and sprung under the book a, and by means of the pointed pin-tongue c the eyeglass-holder may be attached to the garment of the wearer, as desired, while the eyeglasses will be held by the hook h. The tongue 0 is to be made of hard drawn wire and left bright, While the body and hook portions may be of enameled sheet metal.
